Thank you for resisting. :-) >> I originally thought GTK# would be well cared for because major apps >> use it, like MonoDevelop for Mac.

I > think the explanation is simple: Gtk/Gtk# developers don't use Macs. I didn't appeal to conspiracy; you just read it that way. I appealed to *process*. I see MonoDevelop and gedit working great on Mac (which btw falsies the statement "Gtk/Gtk# developers don't use Macs.") while simultaneously Mono GTK# apps cannot handle basic operations like resizing, clicking and scrolling. So I speculate there is something missing in the Mono development and/or release process. > I'm not a 'core' Gtk# developers, but I use Monodevelop hours every day > - but I also don't own, use, or test on a Mac [over priced proprietary > hardware & OS]. Aww, I thought you were resisting... The hardware is not proprietary. You can install Linux, BSD and Windows on a Mac. > If developers don't use Macs, Where did you get that idea? The developers behind MonoDevelop and gedit for Mac obviously do. > and Mac users don't report bugs, then.... And I just opened a discussion on bugs in this thread! -Chuck _______________________________________________ Gtk-sharp-list maillist - [email protected] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/gtk-sharp-list
